This year wasn't sure who may win the Apple Cup since both the Huskies and the Cougars were not having good seasons. The Huskies had lost to Colorado in a poorly played game; however, this is a rival game so teams are always up for them or at least they are supposed to be.
The Cougars dominated the first quarter having the ball for three-quarters of it but was a tie 7-7 at the end. The Huskies dominated the second through the fourth quarter. The Huskies had a lead of 21-10 at halftime. They scored a touchdown in the third quarter while the Cougars kicked a field goal. The Huskies kicked a field go in the fourth quarter making the final score 31-13.
Not sure why but the Huskies have won the last seven straight Apple Cup's including six under Head Coach Chris Petersen. The Huskies defense harassed the Cougars offense so much in the second quarter and the second half. Cougar's quarterback Anthony Gordon was sacked five times though he threw for over 300 yards but didn't have a touchdown. The Huskies' secondary showed how good they are in this game. The never gave up a long pass; playing a zone most of the way the Cougars had to go on short passes instead. So now both teams look to hear what bowl games they will be playing in.
On the south side of Washington, the Gonzaga Bulldogs beat Oregon in a tight game of basketball on Thanksgiving in the Bahamas 73-72; however, they were upset by Michigan Friday 82-64 to end their unbeaten season record. The Bulldogs are now 8-1 playing their next game on Wednesday at home against Texas Southern. On Sunday, December 8 Gonzaga will come to Seattle to take on the Washington Huskies which should be an exciting game.
The Washington Huskies men's team has two games before facing Gonzaga. They take on South Dakota on Monday followed by Eastern Washington on Wednesday. The Washington Huskies are now 5-1 winning three straight after losing to Tennessee in Toronto, Canada.
The Seattle Seahawks take on the Minnesota Vikings on Monday night football. They hope to make their record 10-2 with four games remaining in the season. The Seahawks have always played well on Monday night football so expect the same in this one.
